Harris' 2020 exit leaves potentially all-white debate, causing consternation among Dems

The sudden exit of Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif, from the 2020 presidential campaign is causing a panic among some within the Democratic Party over the remaining candidates who are participating in the upcoming debate, who are all white.
Despite qualifying for the December debate, Harris announced earlier Tuesday that she was suspending her candidacy amid sinking poll numbers and fundraising.
quote:
Her departure leaves only six candidates on the debate stage: former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer.
quote:
The other candidates of color have yet to meet both requirements set by the DNC to participate in the December debate. The requirements include having at least 200,000 unique donors and reaching four percent in four DNC-approved polls or six percent in two DNC-approved early state polls.
Both tech businessman Andrew Yang and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, have met the donor requirement to qualify for the December debate but have yet to meet the polling requirement as they each only have three polls and have until the December 12 cutoff to earn the fourth.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., has met the donor requirement but does not have any qualifying polls so far. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro has not met either requirement and previously failed to qualify in the November debate.
quote:
"We're spiraling towards a debate stage that potentially- we're still fighting to get on it, but could have six people with no diversity whatsoever," Booker said during an interview on MSNBC. "The way this is shaping up, especially with the rules of the DNC, it is preferencing millionaires and billionaires and a lot of other things that don't ever translate into viability in Iowa."

Why is it “sickening” that they’re all white?

I’m sure come debate time things will have changed.

Only the democrats could have a perceived racial quota on their presidential candidates.

No diversity? White women are getting kicked to the curb with white men. Segregation returns? I think the progs would like that to be the case.

Do a Trudeau, problem solved....next untwisting.

Color is literally all these sickos on the left think about. It is the exact opposite of what we should be striving for. Disgusting.

Dems: the only party Infatuated with race.
Dr. King would be disappointed.

lol it’s all about color to these dumb asses. How about it being about policy? Poor Spartacus bitching bc he wasn’t selected. He had an equal chance that everyone else had. Sucks to suck I guess but he does thank you guys for his new house.

I thought Warren was Native American

Trump may very well get the most African American votes of any Republican president in the history of this great Republic in 2020 or better he may break the cycle of oppression for them of voting straight democrat. It's a wonderful opportunity and Trump has been fostering this message from day one. If you give people better alternatives to change their stars, good people will take that chance.

Too late for Ralph Northam to jump in?

Yet these people never bitch about the overly racial inequality of athletics.

Hmm...help me out here folks. Isn't there a term to use when someone filters their entire world view through the lens of skin color and race?

It's ok to be white
And isn't Yang still in the race?
